January 18th Saturday at 11am we will meet at the Shawnee Community Center to organize and get ready to begin a performing arts project called Last Saturday Coffeehouse. Of course the Shawnee Civic Association or some other non-proft organizatiion must approve LSCH as a program. This meeting will determine if there is any interest in a casual performing arts venue at the Shawnee Community Center.
Last Saturday Coffee House may someday happen at the Shawnee Community Center 7:00pm to 10:30 pm. It is a small community performing arts venue. It may be acoustic or amplified. Coffee and other refreshments are served if possible. It begins with a greeter at the door that signs up any performer up on the schedule. A stage area, a light, and a mic (if possible) would be set up. There are tables and chairs here and there. The m/c is Katie, Vince, or whoever, introduces acts, fills in as needed and maintains crowd control. A house band would fill in with performance when needed. Everyone is polite and is entertained by the performers. Shawnee Civic Association would sponsor.. The Cultual Council of Park County and the Arts Alliance of Park County would be promoted and help support as maybe possible.
Years ago LSCH was an early program of the Cultural Coucil of Park County. It first ran roughly 1996 to 2010. LSCH was an open mic venue for local performers. Anyone who signed up had a spot. There were all kinds of players acoustic, folk rock, country, rock, classical. There was poetry reading, theatrical skits (or were those disputes among the participants), and once in awhile dance.
Everyone is invited to join the redux startup planning session, January 18th Saturday at 11am at the Shawnee Community Center.
